Video Review of Transformers Studio Series #32 2007 Movie Optimus Prime

Given recent leaks, I'm inclined to believe it but we'll have to wait and see.

Prime is a huge improvement. Taller, proportions look better, colors look better...I might actually pick this version up.

Bonecrusher is still a disappointment though. He already only comes up to the first SS Prime's belly, he's going to look even shorter next to the second version.

So far, I haven't bought a single SS deluxe. Maybe because I keep my TF purchases to a minimum and/or it really bum me out to buy "ordinary movie deluxes" at 30$.

Do they not have them on reduced price anywhere there? I bought most of mine for typical RRP (and in a few cases more including Jazz and Lockdown at £30 each when the RRP is £23, just so I could have them a bit earlier) but The Entertainer here in the UK has been selling wave 1 and 2 Deluxes for about £16 each. Is how I got Stinger recently (and liked it way more than I thought I would).

The only one that I would be willing to pay for, but at 50% off, is SS Jazz. And he was just like a drop of water in a hot pan localy. And no way am I gonna pay full price nor ordering it online. I still feel the burn from that 55$ TLK Cogman (still available everywhere like roaches at 15$)

I talk in Canadian dollars but still. Cogman just refused to come out and he was rumored to be a rare "tail-line" figure. One that will barely appear in store before being gone forever. It happened a bit too often in the past. Because TLK Cogman was the only TLK deluxe I really cared about, I didn't took any chances and I ordered it from China. 55$CAN was the total price including shipping. It was the best price available back then.

Oh and before that, I was in an hurry to have the DOTM Ultimate Optimus Prime. I imported it from the USA at almost 140$CAN with shipping. Then just 2 or 3 months later, the damn thing was priced 80$CAN plus taxes everywhere and he even went on clearance at 50$CAN.

Seriously, I'm done ordering ANY Movie figures online. Seem that I ALWAYS get screwed over every times that I do. Appart DOTM Guzzle, Movie figures always land in stores and always get dirt cheap eventually. Plus I know that I'll have another shot at Jazz because he'll be included in the next wave of SS deluxes. And even then, I'll wait for a sale.

I began to seriously collect at the HFTD times. So I din't knew about ROTF Lockdown. So he was a "drop of water in a hot pan" too? One more to the list.

What is frustrating is we can never know what will be the nest ephemeral store shelf transformers.

Broken video.

Good video but showing articulation is waste Of time they all move same in same figure class

No it is not. Often, even if the same point of articulations are present, the kibble get in the way. This is important to point out.

I can testify firsthand to that, I can’t even find a broken version of that figure so I can just get his engine, and it feels like a wast to pay about double the original price when I still have the rest of him AND ratchet’ EMP for him
